Summary of Service: M1A1 Gunner’s Primary Sight (GPS) Leak Test Tank Scope: This specification establishes a requirement for a water tank to leak test a submerged GPS unit that has been purged and pressurized with three (3) pounds of Nitrogen gas. The rough dimensions of the GPS unit is 22”L x 15”W x 36”H, 200lbs. Background: Currently the GPS units are submerged in a solid metal tank. Using a crane and lifting rig, the GPS unit is lowered into a tank and remains attached during the test. The metal tank is not designed for water testing and creates maintenance issues. The bubbles released during the test can be hard to see. Contractor Requirements: The contractor shall provide all parts, labor, tools and materials necessary to produce a sealed, clear acrylic, leak proof tank. The tank shall be 36”D x 40”H minimum if cylindrical. Cylindrical is preferred. A rectangular tank shall be 36”Lx36”Wx40”L. Access shall be at the top of the longest dimension. The tank shall have a lid with handle that is capable of being removed if attached. The lid shall protect the water from dirt, dust, and debris. There shall be a drainage port at the bottom of the tank that can accommodate a general hose pipe. The connection point shall extend at least 2 inches from the outside diameter of the vertical wall. The tank shall have a base with locking, swivel casters with 2-4” of floor clearance. The base does not have to be removable. The tank plus base with casters shall not exceed 46”H. The shop floor is tile covered with textured paint. Contractor shall provide technical drawings, technical data information, and maintenance instructions for all parts. 3.7 Acceptance Testing: The tank shall arrive at Anniston Army Depot fully assembled and crated properly. There shall be no leaks, seals, cracks, crazing, scratches, pitting and/or hazing that may obscure vision of the GPS unit under test. Acceptance of work completed shall be done by the assigned Government Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The Contractor shall provide a warranty for a period of not less than one (1) year. The warranty shall begin the day following government acceptance of the upgrade described in this document. During the warranty period, the contractor shall be responsible for all costs, including parts, labor, travel and lodging required to complete any and all repairs of any defects of material, parts and/or workmanship.
